And last week I missed What’s On Your Work Desk Wednesday   I hate missing it as I love joining in so much, it’s always so much fun and even more when I take a pic that morning and then share now and it’s the card I was working on!  Usually on Wednesday’s I only have one little girl home with me and we have some “crafting” time, I make cards and she does colouring inn.  ANY WAYS waffles, here is my desk……

I promise to be back with a card soon hehehe, but till then All That Scraps has started the Sneak Peek Previews WHOO HOO and I was not assigned to this set and time fell away from me BUT I could not let you miss a chance to WIN your very own set and CHECK out the absolutely fabulous creations the All That Scraps girls came out with WOOOOOOW stunning creations….  Check them all out HERE…… And below is a glimpse of what the set looks like…..

Also have you seen the Stamp Binder Box that All That Scraps stocks?  I have several on their ways to me and can NOT wait!  They look easy, convenient and space saving….

AND best of all at an amazing price, you can check them out HERE…

What you still here for, hehe, go and check it all out!

The response I get will also influence whether she does the same with Bikkie.  Which is further down the post, so cute you wont want to miss a look see….

If you’d like to make sure you snag him, you can PRE-ORDER Sammy right NOW WHOO HOO by clicking here, and expect him to ship within 2-3 weeks.  So RUN don’t walk to snaffle yours up today!

This particular stamp costs $9.00 USD because it is slightly larger than Hansel (measuring 2.995″ by 3.615″) and thus costing more to make. Marina will keep the price at $8.00 USD or even less whenever possible….

Sammy with Ball will also be available as a DIGI after the rubber version is officially released. In addition, one (1) Sammy with Ball DIGI will be given away to a random commenter on this blog post HERE…. You might just be the lucky gal or guy to get Sammy weeks before anyone else! HOW exciting is THAT!
Shy Sammy will be released on Tuesday, July 27th, as a digi. Mark your calendars! =) And keep an eye out for this little guy…

Well this post has taken me about 3 hours to finish now, lol, thought I might scroll back up and add that to begin with….  And my explanation…. 3 girls, haha.

Well it’s funny but as much as the colours from Paper Romance Challenge are not my style, I loved using them and so when I was thinking last night what to do next………….?  I thought of Hansel in those colours and for the first time ever I made an circle easel card, thank you Pink Lady, Debbie Pamment *link in sidebar* and her easy to follow tutorial!  So Hansel as you know is playing along with Paper Romance Challenge of Chocolate, White and Teal.  He’s been picking flowers to play along with Stamp Something and their challenge this week is Flowery and with Hansel and his bunch of flowers and the webster bloom I think I covered it, which means I also covered Create 4 Fun and their challenge this week is Flowers…..  So here is my card….

Stamps : Hansel from The Stamping Bazaar and Sentiment from All That Scraps.

Papers : Kraft, Cocoa Cardstock, Prima, Websters and October Afternoon…

Other : Websters Bloom Flower, Cream Lace, Ribbon, Magnolia Vintage Tag and Tilda Lace Doohickey’s, Martha Stewart Butterflies Punch and Brown Ribbon.

So there you have it my very first circle easel card and I can see many more coming it was FUN, simple and easy to make but so effective!  Smaller space to and so great for that little quick card, although there ain’t nothing quick about this lol, still took me a good hour or more.

WELL you might had noticed another blog change!  Poor Heather she is absolutely amazing and when I seen all the new headers she was pumping out and they have like a whimsical look and I LOVED my old header and when I asked, just asking Heather, but ummm if I were to say etc etc she came back with this response and I am in LOVE all over again WOW, and THANK YOU again Heather!  That’s not all you’ll be seeing from her

Well I best get all the uniforms ready for tomorrow and what not, bit of a lazy Sunday happening here and hubby just got home so girls are all over him, hehe Daddy’s girls for sure!

I will be back soon with a card, but for now I wanted to share something with you.  Some of my Pink Ladies have started their own little stores and as some of you may know they call me Boss Lady hehe or Waffles what ever comes first, hence my title.

The crafty and talented Fran makes the most gorgeous headbands and I know because I have one WHOO HOO, as soon as she opened her store I went in and snaffled one up…. She is currently SOLD out whoo hoo, but check out the site HERE and bookmark it for when she adds more… They look a bit like this *Taken from Fran’s site*

And then the gorgeous Kylie Brown aka Kylie Crossley makes the most gorgeous charms!  For wine glasses, you know when you go to a function, b’day, Christmas etc you all have the same wine glass and forget whom had which well these are a gorgeous way of knowing which is yours by adding a touch of Bling!  And then she has gorgeous bag charms and sooooo much more, check it all out HERE…..

Before I start I just wanted to thank everyone that has been helping me out with looking for a desk carousel.  You have all been amazing and I am blown away by how many of you would go out of your way to check your local stores for me!  THANK YOU!  We unfortunately don’t have a Micheal’s here in Australia, but by looks of it BOY I wish we did!

Well the girls are all dressed in their daggy baggy clothes ready to go out with their dad to the farm and run a muck and see their Nanna.  Which will then equal quite, dvd and crafting me time, whoo hoo, has been a few weeks since I have had that.

So last night I was blog hoping and the night before as well and came across some amazing first time challenges and then some of the regular challenges I LOVE to join in with.  I am playing along with Cupcake Craft Challenges and their challenge this week is …. Cats and Dogs….  And this little puppy is perfect and will fit right in over there.  Then I am joining for the first time Paper Romance Challenges and their challenge is Chocolate, White and Teal….  Boy did I struggle a little with the colour teal, just never seem to have any of it when I need it?!  Also playing along with Sasya’s Sketch, I will admit I did change it a little as I could not get it to work the way I wanted it to in my mind so switched and added a few things here and there, lol not surprised!  Here is the gorgeous sketch….

And here is my card using the sketch as guide hehe….

Stamps : Digital Puppy with Kit from All That Scraps and Love sentiment from Unity.

Papers :Prima, Webster, Cocoa Cardstock and Kraft Cardstock.

Distress Inks :Brushed Cordury, Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.

Well I was going for a plain but effective card but just kept adding more and more, hahaha.  Well best go as kiddies will be going soon and I want to dive head first into my crafting have a few cards planned and lots of DT work to get ahead of.

OH and also a little bit of a toot toot, hehe I was so excited to see I got top 3 over at Paper Sundaes Challenges with my Hansel card, WHOO HOO….

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

No card per say at the moment but it’s crafting related non the less, lol!  I have always wanted a Making Memories Desktop Carousel and was going to get one last birthday from hubby, but something over road that, forget, mmmm maybe cuttle bug or was that year before, hmmm either way something crafty, lol!  Now I finally can get one only to find out they stopped making them NOOOOOO…. And have spent way to much of my day googling trying to find just one.  But thought maybe, just maybe  someone might know a of hidden place I am missing that has them online?  I have someone that has offered to check their local craft store for me, but if you know of some place online I would appreciate so much and then some more!  It look like this……

Thank you SO much in advance for taking the time to help me….
